Which pub do you recomend me?
Do you know their web pages?
Are they close to the city center?

-The old curiosity pub
-Enoteca
-Mustiff Pub
-Hippopotamus
-Dadaumpa
-Gavanasa

Thanks a lot.

The Hippopotamus and the Dadaumpa are disco clubs, not pubs.
The Old curiosity and the Mastiff are both central (Mastiff is closer to Piazza Garibaldi) and are classical pubs.
The Gavanasa is more expensive, less welcoming and a bit too small.
Enoteca: which one? there are several. The word just means winery. The Rangon, that you have listed among restaurants, is one. They are places where you can get something to eat, but mainly snacks, often delicious, and no main courses, because the focus is more on the wine.

Thanks a lot.
When I say pubs I mean not only classic pubs but also places with beer, music and the chance of dancing. Are Hippopotamus or Dadaumpa that kind of places?

The Hippopotamus and the Dadaumpa are far too stylish to be suitable for an informal night out, and drinks are far more expensive than in pubs.
The Hippopotamus is a disco, with a younger clientele than the Dadaumpa (nobody over 30) and theme nights, for instance Tuesdays are for University students, Thursdays are gay nights.
The Dadaumpa is very stylish (for exemple you will see girls wearing tiaras there) with a restaurant.
Both are places for couples or for groups of friends. They are not places where you can expect to make friends if you go there alone.

if I'm not too wrong there should be a spot called "onirica" which is a typical irish pub ...

enjoy ur beer :-))))
mauro

The Onirica is still there, very lively, informal and crowded. But it is a club of the ARCI circuit, so they used to admit only people with the ARCI card. I do not know if nowadays they are strict about it or not.
